4:01 that shows CX921/907/913/903 final destinations MNL & CEB. Because your A350-941 is also used on Hong Kong to the Philippines market if you scroll on the map. Excellent Trip report overall and you can compare the CX A359 to what the CX Filipina crews use to go back to MNL a Philippine Airlines A359.

Very enjoyable flight report! Is it just me or the meals just getting smaller and smaller every time? :) Lately ,I have to always pack a lots of snacks for any long haul flights ...

[@wowflyerhk]

I think the meal sizes are ok as there are also snacks such as cup noodle, egg tarts and packets of shortbread/pretzels/peanuts on demand.

Great report, looking forward to seeing more! Miss the old IFE loading screen...

Do you know how IFE controls work when sitting in bulkhead seats? I've read that the seats are so thin, you feel everything put into the seat pocket from the person behind you, is this true?

[@wowflyerhk]

There are IFE remotes for bulkhead seats, the screens are still touchscreen though.
The seats on the A350-900 are quite thin and you can feel people fiddling with the seat pocket behind or if there is a bit of movement.

Flying in 2 weeks to Hong Kong with transfer, is 2:20 hour enough? Flying with Cathay Pacific in the Airbus A350-1000

[@wowflyerhk]

2 hours should be enough for transit. If you’re connecting from Cathay to Cathay, transit information will be available upon arrival on your personal TV.
